Loopy Boa

Instructions

1. Using 2
strands of yarn, wrap first 3 pegs. Wrap the 3 pegs again and knit off
(lift bottom 2 loops over top 2 loops and off peg).

2. Make fringe
loop on left side of loop by bringing yarn to inside of loom, skip 9
pegs and wrap around 10th peg. Wrap around outside of loom, around all
10 pegs then bring yarn to inside of loom behind 3 pegs with stitches
(see picture to right).

3. Wrap the 3 pegs and knit off.

4. Using tool, lift off fringe loops that are around the 10 pegs. Let loops drop to inside of the loom.

5. Make fringe
loop on right side by bringing yarn to inside of loom, skip 9 pegs and
wrap around 10th peg. Wrap around outside of loom, around all 10 pegs
then bring yarn to inside of loom behind 3 pegs with stitches. NOTE:
You can mark peg #14 with tape or a small elastic band. This peg is in
between the loops. Wrap around peg #13 for right hand loops and peg #15
for left hand loops.

6. Wrap the 3 pegs and knit off.

7. Using tool, lift off fringe loops that are around the 10 pegs. Let loops drop to inside of the loom.

8. Continue
with instructions #2 through #7 for five feet or for desired boa length.
You will alternate making fringe on both sides of 3 pegs that have
stitches.

9. Once you
have the desired length of boa and all fringe loops have been dropped
off, finish off by wrapping the 3 pegs and knit off. Bind pegs off
using flat panel bind off. Use crochet hook to weave ends in. Gently
tug on fringe loops to "lock'? in.

10. Worn
around the neck, this boa is an eye catcher! It can also be tied around
the waist and worn as a belt if you make it long enough. I used a yarn
with loads of texture but any medium to bulky yarn will work. Just
have fun with it!
